chelsea will be without essien and barcelona will be without xavi.

both big losses

Indeed both really good players.

IMO Essien got of light with only a two match ban. What do you think ?

if that was his first ever bad tackle then i would say that two games is fair. but he did it before and got away with it, and then did it again so i think a 5 game ban would of been appropriete

Essien should be suspended for 3 months. He has a history of those tackles. He did it while playing for Lyon, and now against Liverpool and Bolton.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW.

Bayern - Milan

Benfica - Liverpool

Real Madrid - Arsenal

PSV - Lyon

Chelsea - Barcelona

Rangers - Villarreal

Bremen - Juventus

Ajax - Internazionale

Milan
Liverpool
Real Madrid
Lyon
Chelsea - flip of a coin between them and Barcelona.
Villarreal
Juventus
Inter

From that 8, I'd say that Juventus, Chelsea, Lyon, Real Madrid, AC Milan and stupid Liverpool all have a good chance of winning it.

I'd love to see Barcelona win the whole thing because they play exceptional football and are so fluid, but faced with a pragmatic Chelsea side, they could become stuck in the mud.

I vote PSV more than Lyon on the basis of their brazilian goalkeeper.

It was a horrible tackle. They should have taken into consideration the tackle he done against a Bolton player dont remember who it was.

lyon are stronger. psv have sold most there best players

I think Lyon will get very far this season. and who knows if other games go thier way they have a very good chance of winning it IMO

any team can win it. write off no one

Indeed.

funny quote from Alex McLeish the Rangers coach, in an interview. replying to a person from the press saying 'it was a good draw'.

He said 'yes Villarreal should be very happy with it' 😂

it's a fix... always is - what an amazing coincidence that Barcelona got Chelsea
